Did anyone watch this show yesterday and what did you think? The prices were better than when the line was Judith Ripka, but not sure the designs were as tempting.

I just saw this listing on the "recently aired". Is this a Ripka line designed by her or her staff? The items were okay and the pricing certainly easier than her other line. Is there not a JR line on QVC any longer?

I didn't watch the show but I just looked online and there are 11 pages of this jewelry. Is this a new version of Judith Ripka? There are some beautiful pieces but a little fancy for my taste.

I bought a JAI necklace last summer on a jewelry day sale. Have never worn it. So I am trying not to impulse buy jewelry just because I think it is pretty. But I have a couple of silver bangles in mind that I might buy but they are not from this line.

I liked what I saw...in some ways, it reminded me of her earliest work...minus the diamonique and finer berge estate-type details. I'm going to try a few pieces.

I have collected her work, and like any line, it shows an evolution.

I didn't see the show but just checked online. Only the televised pieces show them on a live model. I'm in the market for a status link ring but this one looks as big as a barn. On a person it might not look so big. Frankly I guess I just want plain single color metal with no stones.

I betcha the quality has gone downhill. All the silver jewelry I've gotten from QVC recently has felt like tin. I've quit buying. Silver is not so precious they need to be so stingy.

Depending on what you want, if you love handmade like I do, Jason Janow Metalsmith (Chairperson of the Southern Highland Guild Jewelry Committee) has some beautiful, unique items. Of course a business FB is open to everyone. He's a great guy!

He made my DILove's Christmas pendant! Whis was a gold branch pendant with a diamond.

@ECBG Factory-made jewelry holds no appeal for me. I much prefer something unique and handmade by a silversmith.

@ECBG Love his bark rings. They're so organic.

I like bold, clean contemporary lines without oxidation readily available in my sizes, which is difficult--not impossible--to find. That's why I'm willing to try this new Judith line.

There are several jewelers, designers and smiths I work with for special pieces, but not for everything.

That bark is what he finds as he trout fishes. I love the big one with the diamond. Those little diamonds are very inexpensive, less than $50 but have high shine!

He has made me a bark bracelet with white dia. He had it at the show with champagne dia, but I rarely need that color. Love white shine!!!

@ECBG That bark texture reminds me of my stainless steel flatware which has a similar texture. I'm very drawn to wood textures.

Honey, I'm trying to get the pics of the two bracelets to post but I need another version of photoshop on this computer. Something had changed a while back and I can't post photos with my phone; everything is suddenly too big, I have to go through photoshop.
